Questions about Suzuki-M95, from Spain

[GoTiKo]

Hi, good morning, my english isnt good but Ive try it because in spain is dificult to find more people with this bike.

Iam GoTiKo in the forums, im from Bilbao-Spain and I had an accident 2 years ago. To repair my bike I use diferents parts of other homes(Kawa,Triumph,Hd, etc...). This is my bike named Hinata


I changed pipes with Bub Pipes and the sound is very beautiful(for me).
Now, I want to change the kit air filter and i would like to know who persons have the M95 or MeanStreak and their experiences with the change of air filter(with photographies better).

I want add a PowerCommander too, but Im not sure if is necesary.

Thanks,

[JmalB]

I can't remember if your bike is fuel injected or not. If it is, you will definitely need something like the Power Commander.

Good looking bike btw.

The Techlusion will fit your bike for a fuel management system. I would definitely get one with aftermarket pipes and especially if your going to get an aftermarket air kit.

Techlusion Fuel Management Kit Techlusion (Dobeck Performance) Fuel Injection TFI Control Box for Suzuki Boulevard M95

Cobra FI2000 Fuel Management (Plug & Play) 1020-0081 - Cobra FI2000 Tripot Fuel Processor - 1600 Marauder & Mean Streak

I think that Im going to get a aftermarket air kit, but at moment Im not sure what type.
Thank you very very much with the links with differents type of fuel management, but, I have questions:
1.- Ive seen this too:
92-1962 - Cobra Fi2000R Fuel Management - Mean Streak 1500/1600 & Marauder 1600
Is better that Cobra FI2000??
2.- What type of fuel management you think that is better??

I dont have place in my bike to save the fuel management

In harley davison exist the Sest, with Sest you configure the original switchboard and you have to put nothing extra in the bike.
With PCIII, Cobra FI2000, etc,... you have to install on the bike.

Thank you very very much

Good forum!!

The only difference between the Cobra FI2000 & the FI200R is that the "R" version comes with the adapter clips which makes it easier to install. I have the FI2000R on my bike and it seems to work very well and it was easy to install. Its about the size of a small cell phone and I have mine mounted under my seat. You should have plenty of room to mount it there. It comes preprogrammed for your bike, but it is also adjustable.

I spent about a half hour looking at your pictures. I like them alot since I'm Portugess and some thing look the same. But does every one wear a full face helment? I noticed that when I was there in April but I brought my own helment.

Hi 4dtvman, which spanish place did you visit??
Normally people prefer full helmet by security and in the north the temperature is lower than in the south.

Im preparing a motorbike weekend in october of this year, come on if you want
Ill share with the forum more photographies ^_^

[frostbitevinnie]

Go here for pdf online install instructions for the Corbra FI2000r. I am assuming that your bike is 04' or earlier?? I thoought you might want some install info before buying. I origionally had this unit on my bike and it worked fine. It is easy to adjust.

I know I posted a thread a while back concerning more accurate tuning of the unit. I will try and find it.

Here it is. This is from another forum posted by a guy that has made his living tuning bikes.

Just got these advanced tuning instructions off another forum yesterday. Here ya go. Hope this helps, I am going to follow this procedure this weekend.

You will have to tune it for your bike. Someone elses settings are likely not right for your bike. The suggested settings from the manufacturer give you a good STARTING POINT to get you in the ballpark. I know, Cobra does not have a 'tuning guide' in their instructions, so you're kind of on your own, but other manufacturers publish these and they are available on the web. I typed up some tuning guidelines a while back, They are somplace in the "C-90 Folder", I'll look later if I get time.
As an example:
Turtle Joe and I have nearly identical bikes with all the same components. The FI controllers we use are made by Dobeck... same as a FI 2000/Techlusion... My settings are (think of a clock face) 9:00, 4:15, 6:45.
Joe's settings are 7:00, 2:45, 6:15. If you ride the bikes they run the same. If I set Joe's controller like mine the bike would run terrible and get poor gas mileage too. When I tune FI-2000/techlusion/Lloydz/Dobeck 2nd generation controllers I start from scratch. I pay no attention to the 'numbers' of where the pots are set. I tune the bike 'til it runs right and the settings are where they are. One might be 4, 5, 4 and one might be 5, 5, 5 and where the pots are pointing isn't what to tune by, is it?



You have to ride it to tune it. You can't tune the motorcycle without a load on it. Don't worry about the lights/colors/settings. TUNE IT.
left pot is idle/cruise/light throttle accelleration (less than 1/4 throttle). middle pot in midrange accelleration. Right pot is wide open throttle above like 3800 RPM. Engine must be fully wamed up for 8 minutes first. Turn all pots all the way down (couterclockwise). Try to hold a steady 30-35 MPH in 3rd gear. The bike will buck and surge like a %%%%%. Increase the left pot (clockwise) in 1/2 hour increments on a clock face until it gets better.
Now do 15 minute changes until it will cruise steady at light throttle and on/off the throttle isn't abrupt. Now, increase the setting 15 minutes more and STOP. Set the third/right-hand pot equal to the 1st/left-hand pot for now. Hold a steady 35 MPH in 3rd gear for a couple of seconds then nail the throttle open and count 3 seconds. Repeat this a few times while increasing the middle pot in 15 minute increments until acceleration gets better... then it will get worse... when it gets worse, back up 15 minutes and stop there.
Get a Sharpie marker. Mark the speedometer at 40 MPH, 70 MPH and 90 MPH.
Find a deserted road where you are safe and won't get a ticket. Run the bike at wide open thru the first 3 gears, shifting at the marks on the speedo to
avoid the rev limiter. Adjust the 3rd/right-hand pot open 1 hour and try that.... go back where it was, then closed 1 hour and try that... one will be better... that's the way you want to go. Put it back where it was originally and adjust for best acceleration and quickest pull to the shift points. TIP: If the throttle is wide open and the bike is pulling... slowly let off the throttle... if the bike accelerates better off-wide-open it's most likely too rich.
This will get you really close. Fine tune in barely decernable turns to find the sweet spot on the idle/cruise pot for best drivability. Make ONE tiny change at a time... ride it a while... don't pass judgement right away.
You may also need a little tweak one way or the other on the middle pot... for best roll-on pull. After you ride it a while, you'll get a better feel for finding the sweet spot on that one too. Again, make ONE tiny change at a time... ride it a while... don't pass judgement right away. The bike will tell you what it needs... you just have to apply your knowledge of what pot
effects what, while listening to what the bike is saying.

This tuning may very well not be necessary. This is more for advanced tuning but I suspect that if you put two K&N filters combined with your pipes you will probably be running lean. You will know this if your bike backfires or "pops" on deceleration.

If you have problems translating I am sure that there are members here that speak Spanish and can translate into more familiar bike language.

Two K&N filters?? In my bike only can to put a K&N, in the left of motorcycle.
Yes, it exists "pops" on deceleration sometimes but the most important for me is that with exhausts originals the bike answered me perfect!! but with the BUB exhausts, if Im traveled to 80 Km/h of velocity and I want to do more power strongly the bike get velocity without strong.

I think that the bike need more pass of fuel.

I hope write it good

Thanks again

Sorry my mistake, I must have confused this post with another thought you had a filter for each throttle body. I thought it was odd.

Your funny, What's normal people mean. You said normal people wear full face helments. I quess I'm not normal because I wear a half helment 9 months out of 12, until the temp goes down to 32F or 0C.

No I meant to say I went to Portugal in April, which looks the same from what I seen in your pictures.
